TOP 10 BEAUTY PRODUCTS OF 2017

Today's post is all about my top beauty products of 2017! I love reading posts like this and it always makes me want to run out and buy lots of new stuff - which is probably why it was so hard to pick just 10 favourites! As we're coming to the end of 2017 I sat down yesterday morning to go through my beauty items and assess which brands I've loved and which products have stood out to me, so let's get started!

L'Oreal Lipstick

My all time favourite lipstick has got to be my trustee L'Oreal Color Riche in shade Erotique. It's been discontinued in the drugstores but I have now found it online so I will be repurchasing a couple of them just in case I run out!! It's the perfect nude/pink shade and feels so creamy on the lips. I am so obsessed with it.

Urban Decay Naked Palettes

The Urban Decay Naked Palettes are some of my all time favourites. I'd say my favourite this year has been the Naked Heat palette (which I've reviewed here). I bought the Naked Heat during a trip to New York and I pretty much wore it all summer. I love coppery orange shades and I think they really compliment my blue eyes. The shadows are really pigmented and vibrant, it's so worth the money!!

Estee Lauder Double Wear

I don't wear this foundation much on a day-to-day basis but I love wearing it for nights out. It makes my skin look so soft and smooth and looks flawless on photos!! I love how comfortable it feels on my skin and it's a medium to full coverage so it's really nice for evenings. I would highly recommend it. The only annoying thing is it comes without a pump so you have to buy that separately, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is an amazing foundation.

Collection Concealer

This concealer is one of my holy grail products. It is amazing and SO cheap at only £4.99. It feels really creamy when applied and the shade fair is perfect for applying under my eyes as a brightening concealer.

L'Oreal Paradise Mascara

I think I'd go as far as saying that this Mascara is probably my all time favourite mascara. I love how it makes my lashes look full and lengthened but it doesn't make them feel clumpy. It's so affordable and I've heard it's very similar to the Too Faced Better than Sex mascara!

Ardell Demi Wispies
I am an eyelash girl when it comes to nights out. I love wearing lashes that give me a full but fluttery look and the Ardell lashes do exactly that. I have fairly small eyes so the demi wispies are the perfect size and always make my eyes look much bigger. I will forever repurchase this brand and highly recommend.

L'Oreal Hydra Gel Moisturiser

I had heard SO much about the L'Oreal Hydra Gel Moisturiser and finally caved a couple of months back and bought it. Although I've not been using it for that long, it has changed my skincare. I suffer with quite dry skin so always need a moisturiser that's going to continue giving my skin hydration during the night and because this is a gel it does just that.Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

This is my favourite ever skincare product. It is such a versatile product and comes in so handy. As I mentioned before, I suffer with dry skin and during the winter months it gets a lot worse, so I like to use this for my dry cracked lips as a lip balm, or a moisturiser all over the skin too.

Freedom Dip Brow Pomade

The Freedom Dip Brow Pomade has transformed my brows. I love the fact that it's a creamy consistency but lasts forever on the brows. I like to sculpt the brows and then fill them in using a light brush stroke technique and I love the way it makes my brows look.

MAC Whirl Lipstick
My mum bought me the MAC Whirl Lipstick for my Birthday earlier this year and I love the brown tone with a hint of nude and I think it compliments my skin tone really well. The lipstick doesn't feel drying on the lips and goes on really smoothly. I love the shade so much. It's been so highly hyped and I think it's worth it.
